The Twilight universe and everything in it belongs to Stephenie Meyer.

A quick one-shot following Edward seeing his future with Bella from Midnight Sun.

-Unexpected-

It was easy to change my mind about the girl when Alice could only see two futures.

In fact it was a relief to know that our family wouldn't be ripped apart, because without another choice that was the only outcome. I refused to let Alice live in any danger.

After Edward had fled the house she had walked outside and sat down on the top step of the porch. There were no words between us for awhile as her eyes continued drift in and out of focus as she watched Edward's decisions mold and shape his future.

She finally sighed and leaned her head on my shoulder. "Thank you."

"Hmmm? For what?" I turned my head to look down at her.

"For agreeing to not hurt Bella." She leaned back and smiled before reaching out and entwining my hand with hers.

"You only see two futures for the girl. It was just..." I paused, "unexpected news."

"For everyone." She added before sighing. "Edward won't accept the fact that his future is already entwined to hers. I just wish he'd hurry up." Her bottom lip jutted out in a pout.

"For his sake or yours?"

"Both." She smiled and shook her head before meeting my eyes. "I've never had a human friend and it's so clear how much I'm going to love her, how important she'll be to both of us."

"And you're not worried at all?" After all these years of refraining, I still couldn't trust myself around humans.

She pushed me slightly before laughing. "No."

"Must be nice." I smiled as she rolled her eyes at me.

"Well if one vision is true then eventually you wouldn't have to worry about anything. She'll be one of us."

We were both quiet as the sky began to fade into twilight.

"He was so opposed to the idea of her becoming one of us."

She nodded. "I know, but that's the only future I see for her," she grimaced, "the only one I want to see."

I stared at her for a moment and realized how lucky I was that our future wasn't life or death. How lucky I was to have someone like Alice love me, despite all my flaws.

"I hope you're right." Her eyes searched mine as I continued. "Edward deserves to have a future that involves love, like ours."

She smiled before leaning her head back against my shoulder. "I completely agree."

All I can say is Midnight Sun was both wonderful and pure torture at the same time. Love every second of reading from Edward's point of view but hated thinking that it would never be finished...

However, it did inspire this one-shot so there is some good to come out of it.

Since this is my last one-shot to be published tonight I'd just like to say thank you to all of my readers. Those that are willing to step back into my work and forgive me after such a long hiatus, and to those that are just reading Glimpses of Moonlight for the first time.

I hope to be back to update soon... but I've learned to never promise anything with my crazy, but wonderful life. :)

Don't forget to review and as always...

Thanks for reading!
